Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Ventnor, PO38 :
A delightful residential farm which comprises a recently-restored, 4 bedroom, period stone farmhouse with over 33 acres of pasture, woodland, outbuildings and planning consent for further farm buildings. The farmstead nestles in a valley within the Island's spectacular Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and rolling downland scenery. This fine 19th Century farmhouse was extended, refurbished and modernised, completed in 2004, to provide modern amenities and facilities within a traditional dwelling. The farmhouse is provided with underfloor heating and a bespoke Kitchen Breakfast Room. The Master Suite is provided with an 'en-suite' bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The property enjoys unspoiled countryside views from all aspects, largely over its own land. The present house is probably not the first on the site as in 1793 the property was said to be in the occupation of one 'Thos Attrill', perhaps one of the oldest farming families on the Island.

The planning consent to extend the farmhouse was granted August 2001 (Ref: TCP/24270/-P/01223/01 ). This consent not only provided for the works to the house but for a conservatory and for a further range of new-build, traditionally-styled outbuildings to adjoin the existing barn. Whilst these additional building works have not as yet been constructed we believe that their consent remains valid because the whole scheme was started when the farmhouse was extended.
THE LAND Extending in all to about 33 acres (13.35 Ha). The free-draining and rolling land surrounds the farmstead and is divided into useful enclosures which are largely hedged and fenced for livestock. Seclusion and privacy is preserved by the absence of any public rights of way. Part of the property is designated a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) for its unusual dry acid soil and some wetland. It has been well surveyed by local naturalists and hosts a number of interesting and rare species.
There are 13.25 hectares (32 acres) of the property registered with the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) for Single Payment (agricultural aid). The payment in the scheme year 2011/12 was £2,571.12. The land is currently grazed by a local farmer under a profit of
pasturage agreement. This arrangement runs until the autumn but vacant possession may be available earlier by discussion.
In 2001 an area of 1.50 hectares (3.70 acres) (O.S. Parcel Number 1420)was planted and entered into a Farm Woodland Premium Scheme (FWPS) with a mix of appropriate native broadleaf trees including oak, ash, cherry, hazel and beech. The 2011 payment was

THE HERMITAGE AND THE HOY MONUMENT: Nearby are the Hermitage a country house hotel and the Hoy Monument. The Hermitage was the country home of Michael Hoy, an English merchant who spent many years in Russia trading there before retiring to the Isle of Wight. He raised the The Hoy Monument, or Alexandrian Column (72 ft high) in commemoration of the visit to England by Tsar Alexander I of Russia, in 1814. Ironically it was re-dedicated in 1857 "in honour of those brave men of the Allied Armies who fell on the Alma at Inkermann, and at the Siege of Sevastopol" - fighting those same Russians in the Crimea. The monument was refurbished in 1992, and the plaque to Tsar Alexander I recut. The unveiling took place in the presence of the Russian ambassador.
ST CATHERINES DOWN: Upper Dolcoppice lies on the slopes of St Catherine's Down (which is mainly owned by the National Trust) and is well connected to the Island's network of footpaths and bridlepaths providing access to spectacular riding and walking country. Nearby, at the summit of the Down (not on the property), named after St. Catherine of Alexandria, stands St. Catherine's Oratory, known locally as The Pepperpot, a medieval lighthouse
built by the Lord of Chale - Walter de Godeton as an act of penance for plundering wine from the wreck of St. Marie of Bayonne in Chale Bay in1313.
THE ISLE OF WIGHT: The Isle of Wight, situated off the South Coast of England, is becoming an ever-more popular location for permanent and second homes. Made popular by Queen Victoria, who had her maritime residence at Osborne, the Island is famous for sailing in the Solent; for Cowes Week; for its beautiful coastline including sandy beaches and The Needles; spectacular countryside and long sunshine hours. The Island is well served by supermarkets: Waitrose, Sainsbury, Tesco and M&S all now have a presence as have other national chains. Communication and transport links are excellent; regular car ferries connect with the national motorway network and fast catamarans have connections via Southampton
and Portsmouth to direct trains to London Waterloo which can be reached within 2 hours of leaving the Island shore. Excellent independent schools thrive on the Island with some children attending prep and public schools on the mainland. Government-funded
schools are numerous. Leisure opportunities abound - walking, riding, paragliding, hang-gliding, team sports, sailing, wind surfing and other water sports, rugby, football (Newport
Football Club) cricket and golf clubs. Good transport links enable day trips to London and to the shopping centres of West Quay, Southampton and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.
WHITWELL is a small but thriving village located on the south of the Isle of Wight. Whitwell is named after the "White Well" inside the village, and pictured below. The well was visited by many during medieval times on pilgrimages, and now well dressing occurs annually each summer. The water was supplied by Mr Granville Ward from a spring on his land at Bierley. Whitwell's small size has led it to become a very close-knit community with a range of amenities including a garage, a 700 year old church, what is reputed to be the oldest pub on the island, dating back from the 15th century and a post office, which was recently re-located to new premises inside the church bell tower. A trout farm is located towards Nettlecombe, which is also well stocked with carp, roach and tench.
